High hopes for proposed changes to the electricity sector. 

The Electricity Authority is proposing new rules, giving independent power companies the same access to hedge contracts and access to the same wholesale prices. 

Electric Kiwi was forced to turn away new customers last winter due to surging wholesale prices. 

Chief Executive Huia Burt told Mike Hosking these changes will be a game-changer. 

She says this is what they've been fighting for – a level playing field, for sharper pricing, more investment, and more affordable energy.
